I know that there is under two weeks left before your Winter Break, but I would like to remind everyone that there is still lots to get done before then and that my expectations and rules, as well as those of the school, still apply.

- Some of you are still struggling to find a good book to read during independent reading time during class on Monday and Wednesday, and some of you are struggling to stay focused during this time. I would like you to work on figuring out how to put yourself in a situation that will allow you to focus on your book.

- I was very disappointed and surprised by your class today. You seemed overwhelmed with work, so I extended the due date of the Italian City States project to this Friday from Wednesday. I also provided you with two extra periods of class time to work on it. Today, some of you created a petition, which I was impressed by, asking for more more time yet again. I would have given this to you if you had been using your class time today effectively; however, that was not the case. I would like to remind everyone that we began this project on November 30. This means that you had two full weeks to complete the assignment having nine periods of class time to work on it. I helped gather resources and provided assistance to students that asked for it. This assignment is still due on Friday December 14. I am assessing you based on the rubric and assignment provided to you.
- Please remember to have your novel for tomorrow’s independent reading time.
